Alright well my air fuel gauge is kinda glitching i think i'm not sure. Happens at nite and dont seem to notice anything during the day.. When the gauge bounces 1 cell is lit and bounces around.. for the past few nites, sometimes when it bounces not just 1 cell is like lit1 in the middle is bright and 4 around it are kinda lit up. It will bounce from stoice to rich and then when i let off the gas stay at Lean lit up 5 blocks 1 bright 4 lit lightly..

I tried floor the car and then it stayed at rich and then the cells went back normally.. then the next nit same problem happened. Tonight it happened and i tried flooring it but it didnt fix it.. after a 5 mins it went back to normal. When i gas it, it says at rich so i dont think it's leaning out.

I put a 190 pump in my car a month ago and i never had this problem till this week. could it be my fuel pump? My gauges are a year old. Plus i dont think my o2 sensor wasnt change, but i dont think i'm getting crappy gasmilage i'ma check this week.

Which gauge? Autometer Ultra-Lite A/F? Mine does that. the brightest bar is all you really need to worry about. A/F gauges are pretty much just light shows for the girlies anyway. I only look at mine when doing WOT pulls to spot-check that she's got adequate fuel.
 
It's lunar series, it didnt do it tonight, i think i'ma have my friend check it out and make sure everything is connected. Gonna check gas milage again, just hope it's not my pump.
Everything stays rich, i wanna get a palm piolet to check and see if everything is good. Thanks for the reply
